The difference between three roses with and without a box of chocolates is $15. Six roses, minus the chocolate, would cost $43, which comes to $7.17 for each rose. Three roses cost $20, which is $6.66 per rose. I wonder what one rose cost them?
Ahh.. yes 1996, way before grocery store flowers. Today you can buy a dozen roses for about $25. Box of good chocolates are ~$30. But remember 1996 dollars were worth a lot more than today. 1997 Chevy Malibu $16,400 vs $25,100 today.
When I was a kid (maybe 9 or 10) I stood outside a flower shop for about 20 minutes getting up the nerve to go inside to buy my mom some flowers. Roses were what I had in mind. I finally got up the nerve and went in, and the very nice lady helped me decide i couldn’t afford roses, but I did get my mom 4 carnations ($1.00 worth I think which was a lot of money then especially for a kid with a 25 cent a week allowance). Mom loved them (as mom’s would of course.). Happy Mother’s Day mom and RIP.

Still sweet even if they didn’t have enough money to give the gift they wanted. Happy Mother’s Day to all you mums out there!

Well kids, you always make your OWN Mother’s Card.
And wipe roses from that old lady’s rose bush down the street. (Get Old Smiley in on THAT one) ;-)

I priced flowers yesterday and they are even more outrageous.
